Changed Forever [Escaped Experiments Roleplay]

Diary Entry 4256: My newest batch of test subjects have proven to be quite enjoyable. It is quite rare that I get such wonderful specimens that so readily proves to me my work has merit. They all express quite a variety of quirks, some more impressive than others, but the largest feat is that these particular experiments have managed to retain their intelligence. Imagine the possibilities! Biological weapons with personalities of their own, capable of intelligent thought and strategy, they would prove the perfect addition to my plans once I find a way to break them.

Diary Entry 4268: I have perhaps made them too good, normal methods of control have proved ineffective, it is as if I have been cursed with unruly children which is something I am quite familiar with but unlike my family, they feel no great love for me. I did not want to use traditional mind control as it would stunt their imagination but I figured I had no choice; however, that also proved ineffective, I will need stronger measures if I am to bend them to my will.

I will need to transport them to one of my more advanced laboratories to finish the job. The possibilities I see are endless! Soon the world will be forced to recognize my talents and cater to my whims! No one will have the power to stand against my machinations!

Diary Entry 4270: An absolute disaster! The heavily armored transportation vehicle that was taking the specimens to one of my best labs met with an unforeseen accident. Some drunkard had a heart attack while driving a semi which overturned the vehicle and damaged the locks. By the time my operatives had arrived the experiments had already fled the vehicle and are now loose in Edge City! I will not be denied this breakthrough! I will hunt them down by any means necessary and bend them to my will on my pride as the doctor of this century!

Evil NPCs

• Dr. Richter Veiss: The main villain who is a literal mad scientist who is unafraid of delving into the most unethical of practices for science and his own machinations. He is not alone in his schemes and actually has a sizable family to help further his goals.
• Dr. Maria Veiss: The wife of Dr. Richter she can be a cruel mistress who enjoys the suffering of her experiments. A Sadist, at times she can seem much more evil than Dr. Richter who enjoys the scientific part of his experiments more than what his subjects feel. Still she is a mother and dotes on her children extensively.
• Dr. Robert Veiss: 1st son of the evil doctors he is the head of his father's cybernetics division and believes in the advancement of humanity through machine integration.
• Dr. Vicktor Veiss: 2nd son to the family, he is the head of the Mutagenics Department and works tirelessly to perfect his abominations. A fan of trial and error his laboratories are littered with failures that he will often discard or recycle their genetics for the next batch.
• Pr. Talia Veiss: 1st daughter to the pair but third born, Talia holds a rather unique spot in the Family Tree. Instead of a doctor she is a professor and archeologist, her passion for the past and the secrets held within. Her interest is in magic and how to use the arts of old to aid her family, but because of her rather unique pursuits and seemingly unscientific interests she is not seen in as good a light as her brothers and yearns for the time she can prove her theories.

Rules

• No Godmodding for obvious reasons. There may be times when you are at odds with another character and you fight so try to make the fight enjoyable for all parties involved.
• No matter what powers you have you are not invincible, if you fight stupidly expect your enemies to punish you for it.
• Romance can happen, but of course lets make sure no kiddies accidentally stumble in on something that should not be there. If you really feel you need to do that kind of stuff, there is the marvelous little invention called the PM. I am not against romance in the slightest and can be a good way to add character development but be smart about it.

Taryn Noskova

[Kafka Komedy]

CS

Name: Jude Styles

Appearance:

Jude the Samuraiborg

He's about 5'10"

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Experiment Type: Jude was given a new robot body, built for him by Dr. Robert Veiss

Powers:

• He is able to lift about 400 Lbs. of weight
• He is made of a highly flexible metal compound, able to take much more damage than a human. About double the amount in both pressure and temperature.
• He has two blades in which he is very proficient at using.
• He has standard color vision, thermal vision, and X-ray vision.
• He has a compound bow with 10 reusable arrows.
• He has an AI implanted in his robot body, that triples his thinking speed, short-term, and long-term memory.
• He has afterburners in his back, able to give him a quick speed boost. They fling him at about 30 MPH, for about 3 seconds at max.

Weaknesses:

• A simple EMP grenade will incapacitate him for about 10 seconds.
• His wounds do not heal, he must repair them.
• His steps are loud, and his cooling fan constantly emits a soft hum.
• After more than 3 seconds of use, his Afterburners begin to melt him.
• If one were to hack into him, they could largely restrict his free will.
• He is reckless in combat, and not a team player.
• He has not used his bow much, and knows little about bows work.

Bio: Jude was a simple boy. Born in a small city, and born into a loving, but poor, family. He was frequently depressed, and felt he didn't fit in at school. He wasn't ridiculously smart or athletic, so he felt he didn't have any strengths. That was, until he found out about Kendo. He was a sword fighting prodigy; he loved it, he practiced everyday, and it gave him self-esteem and ambition. But when he was 15, he was put in a coma due to a car accident he got into while he was walking home from school. His family spent all their money trying to save him, and went into crippling debt. But he wasn't able to be saved, and the Styles were left with no son, and no money. Then, Veiss showed up, and offered all debts wiped, for the brain of their son. Very reluctantly, they agreed. 3 years later, Jude was revived- and he didn't like it.

There's my character pasted over. I'm gonna sleeping now, so g'night.

Sophie Hendrix

Name: Sophie Hendrix

Appearance:

Sophie

Her transformation has caused her to grow a considerable amount. She stands 7' tall, quite a bit more than the 5' 8" from before.

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Experiment Type: Initially one of Dr. Victor's failed experiments, but later a fully realized product of Prof. Talia's.

Powers:

• Able to fly.
• Breath fire.
• Increased senses and reflexes.
• Moderate increase of strength.

Weaknesses:

• Extreme cold can affect her significantly. She becomes slow and lethargic until she adjusts.
• Water can have a similar effect though not nearly to the same degree. More of a inconvenience than anything.
• Her high body temperature makes it nearly impossible to hide from thermal imaging.
• Her appearance also make it difficult to hide out in public.

Bio: Sophie started out as one of Victor's attempts to make a higher caliber fire wielder. Having gone through several subjects the experiments always ended with the test subject bursting into a spectacular blaze. While watching people burn alive was entertaining and all when his last lab rat looked to end in the same manner he moved on to work on more promising ventures. Left to die from the inside out what ended up saving her was Talia.

That is not to say she was much better off. The professor's methods were quite unusual. Being an archeologist, Talia has amassed quite a few relics of the past. Most are informational and used for research. But occasionally some very special items come into her possession. Things of legend and myth were what Talia intended to prove were just as legitimate as science. With strange potions containing who knows what to ancient rituals, Sophie's transformation began to take shape. Each passing day she became more creature like and less human. The girl adapted to the high temperatures that her body was constantly running at, developed scales across her body, grew claws on her hands and feet, the spine elongated and segmented into a whip like tail, and the even more obvious wings developed. As far as Talia was concerned the dragon was reborn. Interestingly enough Sophie was not often overly aggressive toward Talia. Despite the painful and bizarre process she did save the young woman's life. Whether the behavior is instinctual of a conscious decision is unknown. What is for sure is that she will not hesitate to try and harm Victor.

[Dirty Dan]

Orion Ivory

Name: Orion Ivory

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Experiment Type: Officially labeled as 'Mutagenics', Orion was given supreme control over water molecules, both in the air, in others, and in his own system, giving him manipulation over both water and ice.

Powers: To be rather rudimentary in explaining, Orion has supreme control over water and ice, being able to form both elements out of thin air, from his own body, and even affect the water within another person's veins - for instance, turning the blood inside of their forms into pure ice, literally. However, this application of his power takes immense concentration, and it only works on regular humans - anyone with a scientifically-tampered body would be impervious to his blood-warping, due to the different type of DNA inside of their bloodstreams. He also can make snow, utilizing both water and ice at the same time. This also works with creating a freezing-cold, icy mist to take over a specific area. Minor mutagenic manipulation has given his brain a sharper edge, allowing him to react to events with a highly honed, enhanced set of reflexes. His body has also been primed for extremely cold weathers, meaning that he's more limber, stronger, and faster than the average man. Not much;; Just enough to accompany his main powers.

Weaknesses: Well, for one, Orion's body temperature is very, very low, meaning that his touches can give others chills. Not as much as a weakness, than it is a simple quirk. Similarly, due to this, and the nature of his powers, fire harms him much more than the average joe. Being in very, very hot places, such as deserts or a sun-baked car, can make him tired, until he can get into a place where his body can breathe. His skin is now a palish color, with his hair being pure white. Take that as you will.

Bio: Orion's history, surprisingly, isn't all that bad. The boy was born in France, to a pair of rich men and women, and, in general he lived a rather average life, for what it's worth. Parent's didn't really care for him, and he them. He wasn't spoiled, but he had a lot of money, allowing him to get whatever he wanted. He was naturally a smart boy, got good grades, and played sports - more specifically, soccer and tennis. He was the classic 'golden boy' of his family. While on his way home, riding in his new SUV, he felt a sting in his neck. When he awoke, he was strapped to a table, and before long, he was asleep, once more. Time passed, and this whole thing came into play. Surprisingly, despite the anger he feels for the people whom have captured him, his natural calmness and adaption has long since kicked in.

Orion treats everything at his own pace- patient, apathetic, intelligent, and cool-headed. This can even make him seem arrogant and lazy at times, but arrogance is idiotic, and Orion doesn't like being seen as an idiot. He enjoys finer things in life, but isn't spoiled to the point where he cannot function without a king-sized bed, high-quality wine, and women pining for his affection. When the transportation vehicle crashed, the young man didn't go crazy like a few others. He casually jumped out of the opening, and walked into Edge City. He had a few things to do...First line of business: Get some better clothing. Preferably something familiar;; comfortable and efficient, yet sharp-looking. After that? He didn't know. His family most-likely moved on, having another child. He certainly wasn't going to crawl back to them, begging to become part of the family again. Eh...he'd figure it out.

Feel free to ignore this if all spots are already full. ^_^

Rose Taylor

Name: Rose Taylor.

Age: Eighteen.
Gender: Female.

Appearance:

Portrait

Experiment Type: A variant of an old Sumerian curse known as "The Scholar's Torment", which was meant to punish mortals for their hubris.

Powers:

Memory theft: As a result of the spell cast upon her during the experiment, Rose now has the ability to slowly steal skills, memories and experiences from a target through direct skin-to-skin contact, in an act that Talia Veiss referred to as "feeding". While she does so, her victim will quickly becomes increasingly dazed, lethargic and confused. They will be left with very fuzzy memories of the event.

As part of the curse, her intellectual capabilities and memory were also dramatically increased, and she no longer requires sleep. Although she isn't aware of it yet, she is technically capable of a few other short ranged telepathic effects.

Weaknesses:

Complete creative sterility: Before her changes, Rose used to be a vibrant, energetic young woman, with formidable creativity and a passion for the arts. While her appreciation for art remains, she is now completely and utterly incapable of coming up with a single new idea. Although she is perfectly capable of repeating old behaviour or mechanically following pre-established guidelines to reach a logical conclusion, she literally cannot create anything anymore. Her speech patterns, her mannerisms, her emotions... Everything she says or does must be either derived from her old memories or stolen from someone else (figuratively or literally). She can mix and match old, existing processes to an extent, but is no longer capable of creating any new ones. She would, for example, be able make a perfect replica an old painting of hers from memory, but will never be able to make a another one on her own. In addition to being tremendously painful for her, this makes her fairly predictable as a whole, and unable to adapt to new situations spontaneously.

Unquenchable thirst for knowledge: Ever since the experiment, Rosa has been consumed with an almost overwhelming thirst for knowledge. No matter how much she reads, how many memories she steals, she always needs more. Like a drug addict on withdrawal, she becomes nervous and agitated in between feedings, and gets an almost constant urge steal other people's memories. While reading books or browsing the internet might help quench her thirst momentarily, it always feels dull and unsatisfying compared to the thrill of experiencing life through someone else's mind.

Fog of the ages: Perhaps the most sadistic part of the curse. Every time she absorbs a new memory from someone, an old one is overwritten. It could be anything, really. The smile on her mother's face, her first time riding a bike... Her little brother's name, her grandfather's address, what her dead dog used to look like. She can still remember with a little effort, the human brain if not redundant after all; but each time this happens, it becomes just a little harder for her to conjure the memory. Eventually, it becomes more and more difficult to keep track of who she is. The more information she assimilates at once, the harder it is to maintain her identity.

Physically human: Apart from her lack of sleep, her physical abilities are still pretty much those of a perfectly ordinary eighteen year old, 115 lbs female human. She can be shot, dismembered, eviscerated, decapitated, and so forth, and is very unlikely to recover from it. While her inability to grow tired does give her a certain advantage, it isn't really a significant one in most situations.

Hasn't fed much yet: Since being cursed in the experiment, she still hasn't been allowed to steal many memories beyond what was necessary for testing. This means that not only will she probably not be particularly useful in the beginning of the roleplay, but that becoming so will necessarily involve stripping other sentient beings of significant parts of their identity. Books and random trivia from the internet will take her surprisingly far, but they are no real substitutes for actual experience.

Her super power is basically mind rape: Her power is literally the ability steal memories, skills and experiences from other people. The human mind is a complex, wonderful and carefully balanced mechanism, and she essentially tears large gaping holes into it every time she uses it. The longer she feeds, the worse it becomes for her victims, and the harder it is for her to pull away. Quite often, the less fortunate of her victims will be left with either temporary or permanent side effects, ranging from loss of confidence or paranoia to early Alzheimer's or severe loss of motor skills and intellectual capabilities. If she completely drains someone of their memories, they will be left as a hollow, mindless husk, technically alive, but for all intents and purposes catatonic. Some might be able to relearn how to function with time, children forever locked inside of adult bodies, but others will simply remain unmoving for the remainder of their lives, empty vessels of their former selves. It is a matter of debate which would be the lucky ones.

Psychic vulnerability: The fragmented nature of her mind will also leave her slightly vulnerable to certain types of psychic attacks.

Bio: Rose was initially a perfectly ordinary 17 year old girl. Smart, young and enthusiastic, she had a whole life ahead of her and was well on her way to getting a degree in social sciences. Very creative and artistic, she would spend her free time painting, playing music or working on community projects in poorer neighborhoods. Despite having spent the better part of her adolescence as a ward of the state, she was by all accounts a very generous, inquisitive and compassionate young woman. Her curiosity proved to be her downfall, however, when she stumbled upon something she was not meant to see.

Things get a lot more fuzzy in her memories from here. She remembers large, burly henchmen holding her down and putting a bag onto her head. She remembers awakening in a strange lab filled with occult items. She remembers words which weren't words echoing in her consciousness. She remembers the thirst, the torture, the feeding. She remembers being consumed with hunger as she listened to the nonsensical ravings of a madwoman. She remembers countless memories which were not her own. But most of all, she remembers when she became something... other... than human.

[IceHeart]

Spots are open first to those who posted in the interest check. Then I'll see but I'll probably only allow 6 people in.

[Crimson Raven]

Is there a spot left?

[twave]

Is there a spot left?

@Crimson Raven

Not officially. Until we see who else comes over from the Interest Check there may or may not be room.

[dereken]

Edit edit: CS moved to character page as requested

Edit: What's the jumping off point for the rp? Like, during the truck crash, or after that?

Alex Little

Name:Alex Little

Appearance: Short and wiry, a small frame that fits his name. His skin is unnaturally pale, and seems to be almost translucent at times. His face is thin and a little haggard, and his dark brown eyes constantly dart about. His hair is short and black.

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Experiment Type: Mutagenics, specialized clothing and weaponry to complement powers

Powers: Alex's powers are a mixture designed to keep him both safe, and as far away from the center of attention as possible. Alex's skin can change colors to match his surrounding area, while not totally invisible, makes him hard to see when not looking for him, and nearly impossible to find in the dark. He also has heightened senses, allowing him to see in near pitch darkness, and navigate by sound in complete darkness. In addition to his powers he is equipped with a jumpsuit that changes color along with his skin, developed by the doctor using skin cells from the last batch of experiments. When not using his powers it looks like plain, white, workman's jumpsuit. Finally Alex has a dagger and sheath. While the dagger's hilt and sheath also blend with him, the blade does not. If he keeps it sheathed, it remains camouflaged with him.

Weaknesses: Alex has little to no combat skills, and would quickly lose any fight where he didn't have the element of surprise. If caught in broad daylight, he'd be found if looking close enough. Also sensitive to bright lights and sounds due his heightened senses. A flashbang would render him useless.

Bio: Alex was always a punk, a delinquent, but above all, he was a coward. He avoided conflict all his life, despite the fact he would often start it with joking and needling others whenever he felt he could get away with it. A rap sheet of petty theft, vandalism, and hooliganism led to the book getting thrown at him after being caught breaking and entering, and charged with a felony. Alex was given a choice, three years in prison or six months of government sanctioned medical trials. The choice was obvious.

After nearly two and a half years of experimentation, his humor changed as well, developing into a mixture of mania and sardonic fatalism.

Edit: What's the jumping off point for the rp? Like, during the truck crash, or after that?

@dereken

It will be a bit after the crash, meaning the hunt has begun. Should probably start out somewhere secluded, like an abandoned section of town.

The Experiments that have made it into the first post are ones that originally posted in the interest thread and posted here.

@PyroDash888@deadAsleep@Gisk@Lord-Of-Frozen-Flame
These people made a character in the interest check so here's a nudge and we'll see who makes it.

[Ookawa]

I have been travelling the last couple of days. Now I'm back home, sorry for the delay.

[Gisk]

I'm here yo. Should I post my CS here or in the character sheet page?

You still want my GM services?

[IceHeart]

I'm here yo. Should I post my CS here or in the character sheet page?

You still want my GM services?

@Gisk

Yes I would appreciate the help. As for character sheet, go ahead and post it in the character sheet thread. Anyone whose character is in my first post as an Escaped Experiment can also do the same.

[twave]

Sweet.

[Kafka Komedy]

So, T2, before she became a fire breathing demon, did Sophie play guitar?

[Lord-Of-Frozen-Flame]

Jordan Jaegers

the truth

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Experiment Type: Mutagenics - Through days of torturous experimentation he was perfected. Jordan was gifted with an array of additional organs and muscles all throughout his body which would give him enhanced:

Powers:Strength - able to lift 600lbs with little to no effort
Speed - able to reach a top speed of about 80mph
Durability - Able to withstand extreme levels of hot or cold
Dark Arts - He was Given the ability of cosmetic change to hide his true appearance, due to the addition of the muscles it causes his body to look like a hulking mass of muscle. The good professor however using her dark arts shrank the size of the additional muscles causing others to see him as a normal 16yr old boy.

Weaknesses: While concealed to most the additional muscles are still there and so are the additional veins, Jordan has to great weaknesses:
1) with all the extra muscle he was left With only one heart. This means while he can perform amazing feats of strength he can only keep it up for at longest 20min any longer he runs the risk of his heart bursting in his chest.
2) Like a cheetah he can only keep up his maximum speed for about 15min before his legs give out and are all but useless for the next hour or so.
with both of his weaknesses having time restraints he wears a two timers one on his leg the other on his arm his armband is always set with a 20min timer, and his ankleband set to 15min. before he uses either of his abilities he will start the appropriate timer. should either of these be tampered with or taken away he will not use the desired ability

Bio: Monster, brute, psycho, these were a few of the names Jordan suffered with coming up from the kids and even some of the adults in his neighborhood. But it wasnt his fault he was big for his age (14), it also didnt help that he was adopted and felt like a burden on his adoptive parents so at the age of fifteen he ran away thinking it would make things easier on his parents he thought nothing of there feelings. this ultimately caused him to be placed again in another orphanage that a family came to and were looking for a strong child and instantly noticed him this family was sent on orders of the doctor to acquire him specifically but never adopted he was bought and since there was no papertrail noone would come looking aside from his name his mind was wiped and the experiments had begun.

[Ookawa]

Taryn Noskova

Name: Taryn Noskova

Appearance:
Size: 5'3"

Appearance

Age: Body 14, mind 18

Gender: female

Experiment Type: Postnatal Genetic Modification

Powers: Creating sticky bubbles, like bubblegum. They are able to hold down people or items of any kind, use them to climb walls or buildings. The bubbles will only be able to be dissolved by Cherry Juice. Don't ask why.
At the moment Taryn is trying to develop more uses for her bubbles and maybe get new functions for them, like Sound Busters, bubbles that explode with an ear shattering sound.

Weaknesses: She is absolutely unable to do physical violence and she can't endure pain, especially not physical pain.

Bio: Taryn is the daughter of a Russian and a Canadian. As was rather rare for girls her age, she tended to hang around her male classmates a lot. Although she was rather giddy and bubbly, she strongly disliked the bratty girls her own age.
She was kidnapped at the age of 14 and modified. Her modifications include a genetic mod that stops Taryn's biological aging. That doesn't mean that she doesn't age, just her body doesn't. This change also means, she will always keep having childish personality traits. Due to her kidnapping, she is highly skittish around science guys.

Guys... I'm stuck... I don't know what else to add...

[Kafka Komedy]

Well, you could... Maybe describe her life before she was kidnapped? Maybe describe the bubbles more, but it looks like that stuff will vary so, other than that, I got nothing.

[twave]

So, T2, before she became a fire breathing demon, did Sophie play guitar?

@Kafka Komedy

No. Why?

[Kafka Komedy]

<Snipped quote by Kafka Komedy>

No. Why?

@t2wave

Her last name is Hendrix. Just wondering if she had any relation to another Hendrix, maybe picked up his talent for playing rad music.
